Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Copper is a sweetheart to all
Copper came to us from CR animal control, where he and two pals were relinquished by their owner. Copper is in a Dogs Forever foster home, living with a rottie/sheltie mix and a lab, as well as a cat—he is a gentleman to all. It is sad to see any dog abandoned, but especially sad when the dog is a senior. Copper weighs 37 lbs. and is a very friendly boy but he is going to need some extra love and patience to help assure him he will never be homeless again. Can you give this gentle old gent the loving home he deserves?
Our adoption fees are on a sliding scale; choose the amount that's right for you. Fees for senior dogs (7 years and older) are $90 to $125; fees for dogs 1-6 years are $125-$175; fees for dogs under 1 year of age are $150-$200.
If you are 65 years or older, the adoption fee is waived when you adopt a senior dog. All Dogs Forever dogs have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated against rabies and distemper/parvo, tested for heartworm and Lyme disease, and microchipped.
